title: Diagnosis of fungal infections.
abstract: Fungal infections become more and more important due to their increasing incidence in immunocompromised patients. In these patients opportunistic fungi (Candida, Aspergillus, Cryptococcus) can cause life-threatening infections. Diagnosis of fungal infections is difficult. Clinical symptoms are uncharacteristic, and laboratory diagnosis is confronted with many problems and requires expert interpretation.
